    Players who started playing at a late age

    I think Side show Bob was actually a late starter- first started as a 14-15 year old.

    The Game Future NRL Stadiums part II

    I think all of the posters discussing the Manly issue ( including Manly fans ) agree that Manly need to engage both the central coast and north Sydney areas but have a few differences in the how and final name. One important aspect I bekeive is that the NRL need to be in discussions with Manly...

    Mate 100% agree with your first paragraph and do consider myself the backward aussie - I beleive everyone that supports a team does start from a romantic obsession whether that be from following family team, favourite player, underdig team or glory hunters . IMO the day nrl goes as corporate as...

    If your talking about the 90's and they approached it way - hey it might have worked but it failed then. No reason to try that again.

    Point taken but Aussie teams in all codes are different from the American sporting culture- totally agree over there franchuses freely move and it seems to improve the bottom line. In Oz it's much rarer for a merger or total relocation ro work and the ones that have work seem to have issue's...

    Not really comparable though! isn't Catalans the only French side in super league? You could only compare them to the warriors who by the way have had plenty of brand changes throughout the years - all as successful as the prior change.

    I would too to be honest but I couldn't begrudge a fellow supporter who didn't. If the direction did come from the NRL and we got to keep our colours and sea eagles and got a new stadium somewhere in the area I doubt there would be much opposition.

    Mate your classic example you quoted occurred in the early 1900's before rugby league was even formed!:joy::joy::joy::joy::joy: A bit more recent successful brand change might be more relevant

    The Game Future NRL Stadiums part II

    My comment was in reference to Perth Red saying Manly should should fold or go to Reggie's only and a new north shore team be made - that's a little more then rebranding.... Of course I would rather keep the current name but if push came to shove all the manly fans on this thread have...

    The point non-Manly fans are missing is that Manly got banned by the Gallop administration from developing in the greater northern Sydney region eg busing schools, shopping centres in mid 2000’s when their was a push for central coast bears. Manly have never even had a chance at extending their...

    Ultimately I do agree for long term survival but as a long term ticketed Manly fan I would like to see Brookie upgraded even if it was only suitable for short term till some harder decisions need to be made

    They would need to be called South North Rabbitohs - nice ring to it actually! Haha

    Totally agree only compromise/concession Manly need to make is to include a highonated name that includes the north shore area, get the NRL to let Manly access and promote in the north shore and that area will be sorted. Look at the passionate hatred from the bears 20 years after there team...

    Drop Manly to NSW cup and combine with bears!! Id hate to be the one to break the news but they already attempted this in early 2000's with the Northern Eagles and it was a failure. And it failed for numerous reasons which would occur now 20 years later. Don't know what's your obsession with...

    Brookie is perfectly fine if fixed to a 20-22k stadium like parras. Union would also use here there- hell even Norths could take their NSWRL games for old times sake- happy to pay Flo for that:smiley:

    To be fair to him its up to the NRL to step in say Central Coast Bears ain't happening ( which everyone knows ) . As long as as no one says anything there is hope ( hates probably the better word). Make a call and give the North shore back to Manly or split with roosters who have current...

    Sorry bout previous post . 100% agree Gallop ruined a whole young generation of potential Mannly supporters from mid 2000's then would use that assistance us when came time for upgrading Brookie

    Brookvale only averages under 15k a year because it is in worse condition then the coliseum in Rome and if you ever have the pleasure to go to Brookvale in its current state after about 13-14k it is absolutely bursting at the seams and forget about using bathrooms, getting food or drinks...

    Financial fragility of the game

    I don't think you realise the hatred between Sea Eagles and Bears before, during and after the Northern eagles. Anyways I'll a answer your answers 1) Greg Florimo and the current bears entity would do anything in their power to make the whole central coast against this. Remember it was only...
